My Parents Judge My Partner’s Career: Here’s How It Affects Us
I’ve tried to tell them: they get defensive
I have tried talking to my parents about this—in case you’re wondering. They just become defensive and say things like, “What? We aren’t allowed to ask about your lives? We aren’t allowed to give our opinions? Maybe your partner shouldn’t work in his industry if he can’t handle a little discussion about it.” See. Very productive.
